Answer:

The method 1 will have a bigger forecast bias ( whose value is 5 ) than the method 2 ( whose value 0 ).

Explanation:

To know which method will have the bigger forecast bias , we will see the deviation of both methods from the actual forecast numbers and then by seeing which one is having a bigger deviation value , we can say which one is having bigger forecast bias.

FORECAST BIAS = ACTUAL NUMBER - FORECAST NUMBER

Actual           Forecast        Forecast        Forecast             Forecast

caller turn      method 1       method 2      bias method 1    bias method 2

23                    23                  20                  0                           3

10                     5                    13                   5                           -3

15                     14                   14                   1                             1

19                     20                  20                 -1                            -1

TOTAL                                                          5                             0

from the above information we can say that the method 1 with forecast bias value of 5 is much bigger than the method 2 with forecast bias value of 0.

Explain how companies choose employees to consider for promotion.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Employers will look to see which workers are applying themselves. They want workers who are flexible, have good attitudes, are loyal to their company, practice good judgement, and are unselfish. Workers who go out and do work that is not formally assigned to them and expand the scope of their responsibilities are rewarded with promotions. Workers who maintain extensive professional networks and learn new skills are also prime candidates for promotion.
